It's good to be back. I've missed you all.

Take care!

I got the willies just reading your posting! Better life (and pain management) through chemistry.

Glad you're in condition to send a report. Please keep us updated as you can.

Scrooge- feel better soon! That sounds painful but I'm glad your doc says you're healing.

Kids walking to school- good idea. I think too many parents are too paranoid, but the first time *anything* bad happens, everybody's going to absolutely scream, so adult supervision is probably a reasonable precaution on the part of the school.

Crossing guards are only nominally for the kids- sure it means they do get across safely, but especially close to the school, it's in large part so traffic will actually flow. Without some control, intersections can bottleneck. A couple of kids start to cross, the cars stop, since the cars are stopped, a few more kids cross...

So I guess I support either crossing guards or adult supervision while walking to school. Maybe not both together, but I can see both being useful.

It will be in the last place you look.

Unless you are weird and keep looking for an item even after you have found it

We can have up to 1300 crickets at a time in our house.

I left the house feeling like I'd very 'creatively' matched my outfit, mixing patterns - pinstriped pants with lace trim on camisole under sweater and lace on shoes. But, now that the light of day has been on me for a while, I feel less matched and more crazy.

Oh well, I still think it's kind of cute - I just wish I'd worn black shoes.

I bought a new shirt at Target last week. I usually don't wear any sort of patterns or anything other than solid colors, but this shirt caught my eye and I thought I looked pretty good when I tried it on. It's blue, long sleeved (rolled to elbows) with white stripes. The blue stripes are an inch or so wide and the white stripes are around 1/4" surrounded by small lighter blue stripes.

The point is that after I bought the shirt and decided I liked it, I looked at the label. "Preppy Shirt". Really? "Preppy"? Is this 1985 and no one told me?

Eta: It's this one only darker blue.
